A Box of Kitkat Gold to usher in the ONG this MCO

Boy, aren't we already off to a rough start for 2021. Two weeks in and Malaysia is back into MCO lockdown again. With the high possibility of MCO extending beyond January, it looks like Chinese New Year will be a quiet one but that's okay! 

Because KitKat is bringing in the ONG with the unveiling of its latest offering, the new limited edition KitKat Gold to welcome in the new lunar year. The all new KitKat Gold is a delectable duo layer combination of fine chocolate with a beautiful beige gold top coat paired with smooth milk chocolate, encasing our signature layers of crispy wafer filled with nutty buttery praline, exquisitely presented in a vibrant gold pack for good luck and prosperity. 

Made my reservation for Gordon Ramsay's Bar and Grill, Sunway Resort...in July

I am ready to be called an idiot sandwich!

At long last, after years of watching the Michelin Star chef screaming at unfortunate apprentice chefs on TV, critiquing restaurants and hotels for their atrocious menu and designs - Malaysians can come close to feasting on Gordon Ramsay's dishes with the opening of Gordon Ramsay Bar & Grill in Sunway Resort.

[Cafe Review] 270 SQFT, Seapark PJ

Hidden in Seapark, Petaling Jaya is a cafe that is literally only 270 square feet in size and hence its astute name, 270 SQFT. Helmed by Vivien, 270 SQFT opened in the middle of Dec 2020 right smack in the center between two traditional coffeeshops, a duck rice restaurant and a car workshop in one of the oldest part of Petaling Jaya.

[Cafe Review] Mossarium Cafe 1 Utama

To be honest, I am not sure why this little cafe in 1Utama isn't trending yet because it was such a cozy escape inside such a popular mall. Mossarium cafe is a must visit for plants, coffee and dessert lovers. 

Fukuoka, Kyushu [Day 7] - Solo Itinerary to Ohori Park and Fukuoka Tower

[WARNING: VISUAL OVERLOAD AHEAD. ENJOY]

My final day in Fukuoka was a bitter sweet one. It was the only day I got to wander about by myself but it was also my last day in Japan, my last 24 hours in Fukuoka. I headed out early, rolling out of bed at 730am to take a leisurely stroll along the canal to Nakasu. 

[Food Review] Sarawak Laksa at Kedey Kamek SS2

There seems to be a boom in Sarawakian cuisine readily available here. Kedey Kamek has been a time long presence here with several outlets in TTDI, Bangi and Kuching. Kedey Kamek is as authentic as they get with a team hailing from East Malaysia, from Kuching and Miri. Its name was in fact Sarawakian for 'my shop'.

[Food Review] Foo Foo Fine Desserts, TTDI

"You want two desserts?" the look on the staff's face was incredulous, triggered by the mere idea that one person could finish two desserts that was meant for sharing. 

"And a flat white." I added before tacking on the request to have both desserts brought out at the same time. For photo-taking purposes. I had faith in my eating capacity even if it meant skipping dinner and going for a super hard workout later.
